In response to Daniel Piedra's letter, "Minority students should not depend on government" (SN 1/9), you just prove how ignorant and uninformed people are.
I am writing in regard to the incidents that occurred during U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo's visit to MSU.
On Jan. 19, the MSU Board of Trustees will hold its first meeting of the year. It also will be the first board meeting for new Democratic Trustees Faylene Owen and George Perles, whose eight-year terms began Jan.
The casual observer just does not fully understand the problem the homeless of East Lansing pose to guests of the city's parking structures.
Welcome back, Spartans! It's a new year and a new semester, which means a fresh start for us all.
As an MSU College of Law student, I am embarrassed by what happened during Rep. Tom Tancredo's visit.
The voters approved Proposal 2, a ban on some affirmative action programs, in November.

Every year during the holiday season, millions of individuals look for opportunities to contribute their time and/or money to charitable organizations.
Last week, Keith Ellison took office as the first Muslim member of Congress. During his private ceremony, Ellison was sworn in with one hand on the Muslim holy book — the Quran.

Have you noticed the racy photographs outside our East Lansing American Apparel store? How did they make you feel? Some images currently on display include a young, blond woman wearing a gray, tri-blend, cropped T-shirt and panties, and a young Hispanic man in a white, V-neck T-shirt and slim slacks.
News is always interesting when it leaves out major facts. "Campus media question SN employment policy" (SN 11/30) did just that.
With the Dec. 23 deadline to comply with Proposal 2 long passed and the Dec. 29 appellate ruling that denied Michigan universities a six-month transition period, MSU finds itself scrambling to satisfy the requirements of Proposal 2. In the State News article "How could a ban on affirmative action affect the imprint of diversity on campus?"

Thank you to an unnamed student in the Izzone. My son and I had a chance to shoot a basket for prizes in the Michigan Education Savings Program contest at the men's basketball game against Bradley on Dec.
